Story
芥川龍之介の児童向け短編小説。 小田原熱海間に、軽便鉄道敷設の工事が始まったのは、良平の八つの年だった。良平は毎日村外れへ、その工事を見物に行った。工事を――といったところが、唯トロッコで土を運搬する――それが面白さに見に行ったのである。 トロッコの上には土工が二人、土を積んだ後に佇んでいる。トロッコは山を下るのだから、人手を借りずに走って来る。煽るように車台が動いたり、土工の袢天の裾がひらついたり、細い線路がしなったり――良平はそんなけしきを眺めながら、土工になりたいと思う事がある―― ※本書中、今日の観点から見ると不適切な表現が一部ありますが、著者の考え方と執筆当時の時代相を伝えるものとして、原則として底本を尊重いたしました。

Story
1917年1月、「文学世界」にて発表された芥川龍之介の第1創作集『羅生門』に収録された作品。運の良し悪し、真の幸福とは何か。青侍と陶器師の老人との会話から異なる幸福感を提示している。 目のあらい簾が、入口にぶらさげてあるので、往来の容子は仕事場にいても、よく見えた。清水へ通う往来は、さっきから、人通りが絶えない。金鼓をかけた法師が通る。壺装束をした女が通る。その後からは、めずらしく、黄牛に曳かせた網代車が通った――

Story
「羅生門」は『今昔物語集』の「羅城門登上層見死人盗人語第十八」を題材として、1915年に帝国文学に発表された、芥川龍之介による初期の短編小説。生きるための悪という人間のエゴイズムについて、自身の解釈を加えて描かれており、そこには善悪の葛藤、生への執着、生物としての本能、人としての理性が交錯している。 - 地震、辻風、火事、饑饉と云う災いがつづけて起った京都の洛中、修理のあてもなく荒れ果てた羅生門には狐狸が棲み、盗人が棲み、身寄りのない死人が多く棄てられていた。ある日の暮方、羅生門の下で一人の下人が雨やみを待っていた。一夜の寝床を求めて門のまわりを見回すと、門の上の楼へ上る、幅の広い、丹を塗った梯子が眼についた…

Story
『妙な話』 ある冬の夜、私は旧友の村上から、銀座のある珈琲店で、妹である千枝子が語ったという妙な話を聞く。その話とは見ず知らずの赤帽が、中央停車場で2度にわたり千枝子に夫のことで語りかけ、そしてその赤帽が、戦役のためマルセイユに派遣されていた千枝子の夫の前にまであらわれた、というものであった……。「妙な話」というタイトルのとおり、不思議な話であり、ラストはまさに芥川龍之介の世界といえるものです。オーディオブックでその芥川龍之介の世界をご堪能ください!「春の夜は」「機関車を見ながら」「しるこ」(同時収録)本作品は発表時の未熟な時代背景から、今日の社会では一般的でなく、不適切と思われる表現が含まれている箇所がございます。しかし作品のオリジナル性を最大限に尊重し、なるべく当時のまま忠実に再現することを優先いたしました。

冬の日暮。いいようのない疲労と倦怠とが身を包む中、横須賀発の上り、二等客車に乗り込む。
発車の笛が鳴り、かすかに心のくつろぎを感じたとき、けたたましい音を立てて13、4の小娘が客車に入ってきた。
身なりの不潔さ、下品な顔立ち、3等の切符を握りしめて2等に乗り込んでくる愚鈍な彼女にいらつきながらも、汽車は進んでいく。
ふと目を覚ました時、小娘は重い窓を開けようとしていた。
汽車は今まさにトンネルに入ろうとしているところであった。
客車の中に煤煙がなだれ込んだことで、怒り心頭となった男が見た光景とは・・・Failed to add items

Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King's Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert's name. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse - unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season. Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances....

The Manipulator. I can manipulate the emotions of anyone who lets me. I will make you hurt, make you cry, make you laugh and sigh. But my words don't affect him. Especially not when I plead for him to leave. He's always there, watching and waiting. And I can never look away. Not when I want him to come closer. The Shadow. I didn't mean to fall in love. But now that I have, I can't stay away. I'm mesmerized by her smile, by her eyes, and the way she moves. I'll keep watching and waiting. Until I can make her mine. And once she is, I'll never let her go.

“You like it darker? Fine, so do I,” writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life—both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.
